Thanks for that .BUT Symbos then wakes up with all the linking missing it looks like it ignores the symbos.ini file.and as i don't have many of the older versions of various programs on the /symbos folder on the x-mass then it is functionally useless.This has taken the best part of 2 days to even get it to this point.A PROPER installer and a list of Version 3 apps would be helpfull..

The Formatter "XMass.exe" formats the xmass DOM, I then install symbos 3 and i am unable to get it to fully work.if i then reboot and do a CAT of D: the says that i have NO files on the DOM, if i then run Symbos and use the commander all the files show up ?? Is this how its supposed to work

Ps:- I am on a Mac and cannot reply to the Chat at the moment so "" Hi Ray back to you"

Thanks Ray W

Ok thats probable.It is not workable when the machine is used for non Symbos uses.After formatting with the X-Mass |format and then you install Symbos 3.0--- then all the files are visible.I think that this is the preferred method ?

Thanks for the thoughts

RPalmer is right, there are currently no actual 3.0 ROMs. I renamed most of the filenames for the existing apps as well. In the past it had this APP? ? ? ? ?.EXE schema, now it's just ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?.EXE to be able to have more readable names.I am currently compiling actual DSK, ROM and ZIP files for SymbOS 3.0.With 3.0 I am currently in a quite tricky situation, as it could be configured for (too) many different equipped systems.- pure 128K systems with disc drive only- systems with 576K ram, but nothing else than a disc drive/HxC- systems with IDE or SD card (M4Board), but no additional RAM (128K only)- full powered CPCs (576K ram, gigabytes of IDE or SD mass storage, etc...)The amount of preconfigured DSKs/ZIPs (+ROM) is going to overflow now for the 3.0 release. That makes it a little bit more complicated, but I hope to have this solved soon.

I am planning to do a full installer for SymbOS after the 3.0 release (like we have for the MSX since 2.1) for the CPC as well, hope it could solve this current issue.
